The 3rd Rockers.

If motivation wasnt hard enough tonight

Here i was laying under my truck refitting the repaired pto box when i look up and notice some one had turned my truck around

now i have two options

option 1 remove the winch and fit it to the back of the car or

take the pto box off pull it back to bits and put it back together so the out put shaft is facing the front of the car

any way its all done now i have a winch again and fitted 1 rear axel seal tomorrow night i should be up to where i hoped to be tonight

tomorrow night i should get the other rear axel seal done and the engine mount as long as they come in over night.

i think i might have a broken gear box mount as well and/or a bent bash plate

that should only leave the smaller repairs like broken wires etc to fix

then checking/changing oils
greasing and cleaning
then drive it a bit topless (fun to drive 7 days a week) in the sun to see what else is wrong with it

here is my new engine mount now modded by daz im hoping i carnt pull this one to bits now

apart from one bolt i need to get i think all the repairs are done now including the trailer plug etc time will tell

I droped all the oils, filter and plugs tonight as well think they are due for a change most of the oils still looked ok and no water in any thing which was good. So fill all the oils and give her some grease and i should be able to take her for a drive and give her a much needed spring clean

wanted to ask a question with regards to the sale of the CLUB ICON

will it come with an instruction manual/ parts list so that we're not left scouring wreckers trying to find what car each bit came out of???

fair point its not that hard but yes it can

Daz

what panel damage / broken parts can we expect after vicwinch ??

Hoping for a good clean run

time will tell and if i break it ill fix it like i always do

and just because it is officaly for sale dose not mean it will sell

any way there is two more things i wanted to do to it that i never got around to here is one of them the other is on its way. Then it is finished

awesome love the sticker :)

September 6 yrs ago i got the old girl

so happy birthday i finaly fitted a radio

It is $50 worth of alloy i got supplied and bent up plus the cd player and speakers out of the telstar that i managed to wreck on Pen

very tidy...now you play yer theme music bow bow chick chickaaahh

Update

Im also considering parting out the complete body a chassie and using the complete drive train in my new truck.


or i might just say stuff it, and drive it into the ground till you can not reconise the body????

then again i have plans for more cutting and welding what to do what to do

I spose i could just drive it more by the end of this week it is going to be my daily driver again for a good while as the 80 is going into the shed

umm well i made the choice myselfi could eithger have a quick car playtoy or my 40 play toy and i chose the 40

so stop being slack sell the 80 and bring on more 40 mods i call DODGIN TREES THE FIRST MOD

cut down 80 on a 40 chassis

lmao

wait till you see the in car action the last tree i hit i make a commet like F$%$k another tree then after i go through the finish gate Sandy comes up while the camera is still going and saids "what is it with you guys and trees"

that is one of the reasons for wanting to build a new truck 300mm extra wheel base would help. or i could learn how to drive.

maybe i ditch the 80

or get a 45 cab put on the 80 chassie and swap all my running gear over

then take the 80 body to the crusher

there's a good writup on a 45 on an 80 chassis on ih8mud, i'll dig it up tomorrow

that's it

very cool adds thanks mate

the only prob is my understanding is to compete your body and chassie must be from matching veichaels. so no 45 cab allowed on an 80 chassie. but you can cut all the mounts off and attach to the origional chassie and alter the wheel base

but now im thinking i might swap the engines including gear boxs etc from the 80 and 40 over to the other for all sorts of reasons.

so a chev powered 80

and a 4.5lt twin cam efi 40 with constant 4wd and weighing a lot less than the 80 MMMMMMMM

but still thinking might do nothing

Daz

surely that rulling will be scrapped soon...

they change them all the time that is the annoying bit you build somthing and by the time it is done the ruels have changed.

but they have to keep themselves in a job

Im thinking if Allan can get away with replacing all the rear and front of his chassie (so only the section under his doors remainds standard)with late model wrangler then i should be allowed to put an 80 chassie under mine?

time for a engine upgrade

if i put that in it they would have to find bigger trees

the 40 is my daily driver again for a wile im doing maintence and modds to 80 and going to build a car trailer then the 40 gos under the knife again thats all im saying for now.

finaly measured what my travel is with 5 link front end it travels 1100mm on each courner with other wheels on ground still

thats wikid, it almost looks like there is no fork lift and you have lifed it using ur magic powers

Can i ask does the spare wheel hit much stuff coz it looks like it stick a bloody long way out
